Insanity,
The whole New Setting stuffs is a huge chaos, the old control panel seems better in a lot of ways, now they just put things without any standard, disordered, in fact they abuse the SEARCH concept, they f CAUSED people to search for things that previously you don't have to search, what an idiot.

Bill Gates should really invest another company to do OS, this shit should be left dead.

Just don't update, problem solved. What's that you say, you have no choice about it. Oh yeah, I forgot, MS enforce updates. Because F.U., they will tell you what to do, you don't get a say in the matter.

Actually I find it amazing that they would allow something so critical as the spying and logging "feature" to be curtailed by connection problems. That should have been the highest priority for the testing team to make sure continuous connection is available. Oh yeah, I forgot again, MS don't test their stuff, they use the people who click "search for updates" to be their unpaid beta testers.

Web version of Skype now sniffs on your user agent and refuses to load unless it detects either Chrome or Edge (that's it), on Windows 10 (or mac).

That is, if you run Chrome on Windows 7 or Linux, it refuses to load, despite the fact you use a "supported browser". Because clearly, the OS version matters a ton for a website.

Note that even other browsers work with most functions, if you fake it as Windows 10 Chrome. Disgusting really.

Reminds me of that Russian social network VK.com which used to show the page saying your browser is not supported if you used IE6. A few years later I decided to give it a try, just out of curiosity. The pages of social network loaded and worked as expected without any sign of IE6 being unsupported “de facto”. It’s just a matter of certain programmers not being willing to test their products (either due to lazyness or lack of resources) and to use a common subset of features available in different versions of the platforms they use. Drives the whole bloat insanity.

Reminds me of some moscow c-movie, where some fanatrix of pseudo-islam shoots an imbecile on his fly-off to microsoft. Ali.Z might be her offspring. And Furs might be the second imbecile (who wasn't flying-off).
(The Offspring being imbecilz too)

Another possibility is that the developer read some article saying that IE6 was crap and decided it was his/her duty to move the world forward by pretending things don't work in IE6.
